The Notch-mediated signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved and controls cell fate determination and differentiation in several Drosophila and mammalian lineages. Both Drosophila and mammalian Notch are transmembrane receptor proteins for Delta and Delta-like ligands. To date, 4 distinct mammalian Notch genes have been identified in mammals. On activation by its ligand (Delta or Jagged), the intracellular domain of Notch is cleaved and transports the Suppressor of Hairless transcription factor (CBF1 in mammals) into the nucleus and acts as a transactivator for Enhancer of Split (HES in mammals) gene expression. Notch activation thus acts as a transducer of extrinsic signals into altered gene expression.. The role of Notch signaling in human disease is receiving great attention of late with the finding that presenilins, genes associated with early onset familial Alzheimers disease, are regulators of Notch signaling.R1 This has led to the theoretical possibility that Notch signaling may ...

The new study, published in the Journal of Cell Science today (Friday 24 January) by researchers at Royal Holloway, University of London and the Institute of Psychiatry Kings College London, reveals how the amoeba will enable a better understanding of the function of these Alzheimers disease-associated proteins in the cell without the need for testing on animals, with the ultimate aim of developing improved treatments for the degenerative disease.. Mutations in presenilin proteins cause inherited forms of Alzheimers disease, and these proteins also play a major role in the age-related onset of the condition.However, understanding the role of these proteins is difficult, since cells lacking the proteins are non-viable.. Presenilin proteins have been extensively analysed and animals are commonly used in this research area, but these experiments are problematic since deletion of the proteins in animal cells causes a loss of viability and blocks the development.. This discovery allows us to ...

In this study, we have clearly shown that (1) the integrity of the C-terminal structure of PS is required for the ability of FAD mt PS to increase secretion of amyloidogenic Aβ42; (2) subtle modifications of the C terminus of PS, especially those eliminating the hydrophobicity of the C-terminal Ile residue, abrogate the endoproteolysis of PS; (3) the pathological activity of FAD mt PS to increase Aβ42 is most likely mediated by stabilized complexes of endoproteolytic fragments of PS; and (4) the N terminus of PS, in contrast to the C terminus, is dispensable for the overproduction of Aβ42, as well as for the stabilization or endoproteolysis of PS.. The mechanisms whereby PS proteins mediate their physiological as well as pathological functions remain elusive. Here we showed a strict parallel between the overproduction of Aβ42 and the stabilization and endoproteolysis of PS in a series of PS proteins harboring subtle modifications at the C terminus. Taken together with recent observations on ...

Many cases of early-onset familial Alzheimers disease have been linked to mutations within two genes encoding the proteins presenilin-1 and presenilin-2. The presenilins are 48-56-kDa proteins that can be proteolytically cleaved to generate an N-terminal fragment (25-35 kDa) and a C-terminal fragment (17-20 kDa). The N- and C-terminal fragments of presenilin-1, but not full-length presenilin-1, were readily detected in both human and mouse cerebral cortex and in neuronal and glioma cell lines. In contrast, presenilin-2 was detected almost exclusively in cerebral cortex as the full-length molecule with a molecular mass of 56 kDa. The association of the presenilins with detergent-insoluble, low-density membrane microdomains, following the isolation of these structures from cerebral cortex by solubilization in Triton X-100 and subsequent sucrose density gradient centrifugation, was also examined. A minor fraction (10%) of both the N- and C-terminal fragments of presenilin-1 was associated with the ...

Alzheimers disease is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function. γ-secretase dysfunction is evident in many cases of early onset familial Alzheimers disease. However, the mechanism by which γ-secretase dysfunction results in memory loss and neurodegeneration is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that γ-secretase is localized at synapses and regulates spine formation. We identify EphA4, one of the Ephrin receptor family members, as a substrate of γ-secretase, and find that EphA4 processing is enhanced by synaptic activity. Moreover, overexpression of EphA4 intracellular domain increases the number of dendritic spines by activating the Rac signaling pathway. These findings reveal a function for EphA4-mediated intracellular signaling in the morphogenesis of dendritic spines and suggest that the processing of EphA4 by γ-secretase affects the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease ...

Presenilins are indispensable for the processing and signaling of Notch. This activity is highly conserved and likely accounts for the role of presenilins during somite patterning (Donoviel et al., 1999; Takahashi et al., 2000). Our analysis showed that the presenilin γ-secretase activated form of Notch1 (NICD), Notch downstream target Hesr1 and ligands Dll1 and Jag1 were expressed in mesenchymal derivatives and that their expressions were critically impaired in PSEN-null kidneys. Thus, the Notch pathway, particularly signaling through Notch1, may be the underlying mediator for presenilin activity in kidney development. It is noteworthy that mice expressing a hypomorphic allele of Notch2 exhibit kidney glomerulogenesis defects (McCright et al., 2001). As all four mammalian Notch proteins are presenilin substrates in vitro (Saxena et al., 2001), a defective Notch2-mediated pathway may also account for the PSEN-null kidney phenotype. However, the presence of glomeruli in Notch2 mutant kidneys, ...

Using a single-nucleus RNA sequencing strategy, investigators tracked down cell type-specific gene expression and networks in Alzheimers brains.

Presenilins (PS1 and PS2) are multi-functional proteins involved in a diverse array of molecular and cellular functions, including proteolysis, development, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, ion route legislation and phospholipid rate of metabolism. in Ca2+ access are due to down-regulation of PIP2. On the other hand, PS1 and PS2 deficiency, previously demonstrated to up-regulate PIP2 levels, potentiated TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ increase. PS-dependent changes in Ca2+ increase could become neutralized by a TRPM7 route blocker. Collectively, these results indicate that TRPM7 may underlie the Ca2+ access loss observed in FAD-associated PS mutants and suggest that the normal function of PS involves regulation of TRPM7 through a PIP2-dependent mechanism. INTRODUCTION Alzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that leads to cognitive, memory and behavioral impairments. In the pathogenesis of AD, cerebral elevation and accumulation of the amyloid -peptide (A) are ...

Mutations in presenilins (PS) 1 and 2 are the major cause of familial Alzheimers disease. Conditional inactivation of PS1 in the mouse postnatal forebrain leads to mild deficits in spatial learning and memory, whereas inactivation of both PS1 and PS2 results in severe memory and synaptic plasticity impairments, followed by progressive and substantial neurodegeneration. Here we investigate the effect of a familial Alzheimers disease-linked PS1 missense mutation using knock-in (KI) mice, in which the wild-type PS1 allele is replaced with the M146V mutant allele. In the Morris water maze task, PS1 KI mice at 3 months of age exhibit reduced quadrant occupancy and platform crossing in the probe trial after 6 days of training, though their performance was normal in the probe trial after 12 days of training. By the age of 9 months, even after 12 days of training, PS1 homozygous KI mice still exhibit reduced platform crossing in the post-training probe trial. ELISA analysis revealed a selective ...

Presenilins are ubiquitous, intramembrane proteins that are known to have crucial functions in many cellular processes. Here we report the finding that endogenous, wild-type presenilins are critical mediators of cellular autophagy. Genetically ablating presenilins, together or independently, alters many key autophagic proteins and results in abnormal buildup in autophagosomes. Notably, increases in LC3-II, indicating a buildup of autophagosomes, were replicated with presenilin knockdown in neuroblastoma cells, demonstrating a role for presenilins in autophagy in multiple cell types. We found that presenilin-null cells have decreased proteolysis of long-lived proteins, even when autophagy is pharmacologically induced, suggesting that they have a buildup of autophagosomes as a result of dysfunction in autophagy after autophagosome completion. This conclusion was validated through the use of lysosomal inhibitors that did not cause additional buildup of autophagosomes in presenilin-null cells ...

Here, we investigated aberrancy in activation of initiator caspases related to two PS1 gene mutations, I143T and G384A. Acceleration of apoptosis, elevation of caspase-3/7 activity, and significant increases in caspase-4, -8 and -9 activities during apoptosis induced by several agents were found in these mutant PS1-transfected cells.

Mystery in the development of Familial Alzheimers Disease (FAD) - a genetic variant of the disease that affects a small fraction of the Alzheimers population has been solved by scientists.

Most people with Alzheimers disease have the late-onset form of the disease, in which symptoms become apparent in their mid-60s.The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is involved in late-onset Alzheimers. This gene has several forms. One of them, APOE ε4, increases a persons risk of developing the disease and is also associated with an earlier age of disease onset. However, carrying the APOE ε4 form of the gene does not mean that a person will definitely develop Alzheimers disease, and people with no APOE ε4 may also develop the disease.. Also, scientists have identified a number of regions of interest in the genome (an organisms complete set of DNA) that may increase a persons risk for late-onset Alzheimers to varying degrees.. Early-onset Alzheimers disease occurs in people age 30 to 60 and represents less than 5 percent of all people with Alzheimers. Most cases are caused by an inherited change in one of three genes, resulting in a type known as early-onset familial Alzheimers disease, ...

This gene encodes an ubiquitin-like protein (ubiquilin) that shares a high degree of similarity with related products in yeast, rat and frog. Ubiquilins contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. They physically associate with both proteasomes and ubiquitin ligases, and thus are thought to functionally link the ubiquitination machinery to the proteasome to affect in vivo protein degradation. This ubiquilin has also been shown to modulate accumulation of presenilin proteins, and it is found in lesions associated with Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene ...

The identification of mutations in the APP, PS1, and PS2 genes that cause early-onset familial Alzheimers disease (AD), the demonstration that these mutations all increase Abeta42, and the discovery of an association between Apolipoprotein E4 and late-onset Alzheimers disease have dramatically improved our understanding of Alzheimers disease. It is clear, however, that much of the genetic risk in late onset Alzheimers disease remains unexplained. Current strategies to identify other genes that affect late-onset Alzheimers disease have met with limited success often because of the difficulty associated with obtaining late-onset families with sufficient power for reliable linkage analysis. Genetic studies using large numbers of small families or sib-pairs, to increase the power of the analysis, are also currently being performed by several groups however difficulties with the non-replication of positive loci, identified by different studies, has continued. It will also be difficult to ...

The PRESENILIN1 and PRESENILIN2 genes encode structurally related proteases essential for ?-secretase activity. Of nearly 200 PRESENILIN mutations causing early onset, familial Alzheimers disease (FAD) only the K115Efx10 mutation of PSEN2 causes truncation of the open reading frame. If translated, the truncated product would resemble a naturally occurring isoform of PSEN2 named PS2V that is induced by hypoxia and found at elevated levels in late onset Alzheimers disease (AD) brains. The function of PS2V is largely unexplored. We show that zebrafish possess a PS2V-like isoform, PS1IV, produced from the fishs PSEN1 rather than PSEN2 orthologous gene. The molecular mechanism controlling formation of PS2V/PS1IV was probably present in the ancient common ancestor of the PSEN1 and PSEN2 genes. Human PS2V and zebrafish PS1IV have highly divergent structures but conserved abilities to stimulate ?-secretase activity and to suppress the unfolded protein response (UPR) under hypoxia. The putative ...

Mutations and post-translational modifications of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in its N terminus have been shown to increase fibril formation, yet the molecular mechanism is not clear. Here we investigated the kinetics of the interactions of copper with two Aβ peptides containing Familial Alzheimers disease (FAD) mutations (English (H6R) and Tottori (D7N)), as well as with Aβ peptide phosphorylated at serine 8 (pS8). All three peptides bind to copper with a similar rate as the wild-type (wt). The dissociation rates follow the order pS8|H6R|wt|D7N; the interconversion between the two coordinating species occurs 50 % faster for H6R and pS8, whereas D7N had only a negligible effect. Interestingly, the rate of ternary complex (copper-bridged heterodimer) formation for the modified peptides was significantly faster than that for wt, thus leading us to propose that FAD and sporadic AD might share a kinetic origin for the enhanced oligomerisation of Aβ.

Recent experimental diagnostic studies are focusing on imaging techniques. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) look to see if cognitive markers or telltale changes in mental abilities and personality can be linked to early biological changes in the brain.. Research shows that brain imaging and scanning techniques are getting closer to pinpointing brain abnormalities that might enable physicians to diagnose people with the disease before symptoms appear. PET scans have shown that the group carrying the Alzheimers disease gene APOE-4 had significantly lower function in specific areas of the brain, located above and behind the temples.. In their book, Keep Your Brain Young, Guy McKhann, MD, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, and Marilyn Albert, PhD, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, MA, say that, for most people, the answer is more complicated. The APOE-4 gene has been identified as increasing the risk of developing Alzheimers disease, ...

The Alzheimers disease (AD)-associated presenilin (PS) proteins are required for the γ-secretase cleavages of the β-amyloid precursor protein and the site 3 (S3) protease cleavage of Notch. These intramembrane cleavages release amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), including the pathogenic 42-aa variant (Aβ(42)), as well as the β-amyloid precursor protein and the Notch intracellular domains (AICD, NICD). Whereas Aβ is generated by endoproteolysis in the middle of the transmembrane domain, AICD and NICD are generated by cleavages at analogous positions close to the cytoplasmic border of the transmembrane domain. Numerous mutations causing familial AD (FAD) that all cause increased production of Aβ(42) have been found in the PS1 gene. Here we have investigated the previously uncharacterized, very aggressive FAD mutation L166P that causes onset of AD in adolescence. Strikingly, the PS1 L166P mutation not only induces an exceptionally high increase of Aβ(42) production but also impairs NICD production ...

Alzheimers disease is the most common cause of dementia. Research advances have enabled detailed understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of the hallmarks of the disease--ie, plaques, composed of amyloid beta (Abeta), and tangles, composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. However, as our knowledge increases so does our appreciation for the pathogenic complexity of the disorder. Familial Alzheimers disease is a very rare autosomal dominant disease with early onset, caused by mutations in the amyloid precursor protein and presenilin genes, both linked to Abeta metabolism. By contrast with familial disease, sporadic Alzheimers disease is very common with more than 15 million people affected worldwide. The cause of the sporadic form of the disease is unknown, probably because the disease is heterogeneous, caused by ageing in concert with a complex interaction of both genetic and environmental risk factors. This seminar reviews the key aspects of the disease, including epidemiology, genetics, ...

Inherited forms of Alzheimers disease have been traced to mutations in genes for three different proteins. Two of the proteins, called presenilins, are key components of the enzyme that chops up a large protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP), and the other gene is for APP itself. These advances have contributed to the amyloid hypothesis, which posits that a small fragment of APP, called beta-amyloid, is a key trigger of Alzheimers disease.. But there may be more to Alzheimers disease than beta-amyloid. Mutations in presenilin genes also upset the balance of calcium in cells. Calcium is a key component in various types of cellular communication systems and is used to trigger the transmission of signals between neurons in the brain-a process that is seriously compromised in Alzheimers disease. Murali Prakriya, Ph.D., plans to examine how mutations in presenilin genes may affect the distribution of calcium among various cellular locales, particularly one called the endoplasmic ...

Alzheimers disease (AD) involves increased accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as well as neuronal loss in various regions of the neocortex. Neuroinflammation is also present, but its role in AD is not fully understood. We previously showed increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 (IL-18) in different regions of AD brains, where it co-localized with Aβ-plaques, as well as the ability of IL-18 to increase expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and cyclin dependent kinase 5, involved in hyperphosphorylation of tau-protein. Elevated IL-18 has been detected in several risk conditions for AD, including obesity, type-II diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases as well as in stress. We differentiated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells as neuron-like and exposed them to IL-18 for various times.

My research is primarily aimed at identifying and characterizing Alzheimers disease (AD)-associated gene mutations/variants with the ultimate goal of defining the molecular, cellular, and biochemical events leading to neuronal cell death in the brains of AD patients. A significant portion of AD is caused by the inheritance of defective genes, while specific gene variants can increase lifetime risk for the disease. To date, four different genes have been implicated to play a role in familial Alzheimers disease (FAD). My lab has been involved with the discovery of three of these genes, including (the amyloid ß protein precursor [APP], presenilin 1 [PSEN1], and presenilin 2 [PSEN2]) that harbor defects causing early-onset forms of the disease with virtually 100% certainty usually under 60 years old. Our studies are targeted toward determining the pathogenic mechanisms by which defects or variants carried by these genes contribute to the neurodegenerative process in the brains of patients with ...

In less than 5 percent of Alzheimers cases, the disease is entirely due to specific genes inherited directly from their parents. If a parent has this genetic variant, they have a 50 percent chance of passing it to their child. Familial Alzheimers is also known as early-onset or younger-onset Alzheimers because it develops before age 65, sometimes as early as the 30s. People with a history of familial Alzheimers can ask their doctor for a genetic test to determine whether they have the deterministic gene that leads to developing the condition.. Fifty percent or more of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimers as a result of genetic mutation. In these cases, the gene is not inherited. Alzheimers in people with Down syndrome tends to develop earlier in life. The vast majority of people with Alzheimers have no family history of Alzheimers but may have genetic factors that predispose them for developing Alzheimers in the presence of other, environmental factors. For instance, certain ...
